    FTX Asks Judge for Help in Fight Over Robinhood Shares Worth About $450M
    FTX sought a U.S. bankruptcy court's help amid a battle over ownership of about $450 million worth of stock in Robinhood Markets (HOOD), according to a filing Thursday. At issue are about 56 million shares of the brokerage owned by Emergent Fidelity Technologies Ltd., a corporate entity organized in Antigua and Barbuda and 90% controlled by former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, according to the filing. Three parties, the filing says, have tried to get control of those shares: BlockFi (a lender that FTX had helped prop up earlier this year), Yonathan Ben Shimon (an FTX creditor appointed as a receiver in Antigua and granted permission to sell the shares under supervision of a court there) and Bankman-Fried himself (who has legal bills).  ( 46 min )

The key to everything, the 'slam dunk' for the market was, according to Bankinter's daily report, that "Powell said that to start lowering rates they will have to be sure that inflation is heading towards the 2% target and there is still a long way to go".  ( 48 min )
